EA announced that the game "Anthem", which has been suspended for several years in BioWare, will be suspended on January 12, 2026.Since all the contents of this game need to be connected to the Internet, this means that this game will no longer be played after January 12.

The premium currency in the "Anthem" game will be discontinued on July 3 and will be removed from EA Play on August 15. However, games that are already in the library can still be played until they are officially discontinued.

"The Anthem" was released in February 2019 with an IGN score of only 6.5. It was criticized for being too hard, lacking polishing and diversity, and the plot of the story is also very poor.As of December 2023, the game sold only 5 million units, which did not meet the EA's expectations of 6 million units in the first few months.

Although EA continued to update and improve the Anthem after its release, EA stopped active development of Anthem in February 2021, and a month later, its game director left BioWare.

In the official FAQ, EA said that the suspension of the "Anthem" service will not cause the company to lay off employees.
